摘要: An increasing number of databases are becoming Web accessible through form-based search interfaces, and many these sources database-driven e-commerce sites. It is a daunting task for users to access numerous sites individually get the desired information. Hence, providing unified multiple engines selling similar products great importance in allowing compare from with ease. One key such capability integrate interfaces so that user queries can be submitted against integrated interface. Currently, integrating carried out either manually or semiautomatically, which inefficient difficult maintain. In this paper, we present WISE-Integrator - tool performs automatic integration Interfaces Search Engines. explores rich set special metainformation exists uses information identify matching attributes different integration. also resolves domain differences attributes. discuss how automatically extract needed by perform interface Our experimental results, based on 143 real-world four domains, indicate achieve high attribute accuracy produce high-quality without human interactions.
